Daa na saa okunafo yi kɔ ɔtemmufo no nkyɛn kɔsrɛ no sɛ onni nʼasɛm no mma no. 4Mfitiase no, ɔtemmufo no ammua no. Nanso akyiri yi ɔkae se, ‘Ɛwom sɛ minsuro Onyankopɔn, mfɛre onipa biara de, 5nanso esiane sɛ daa ɔbea yi haw me nti, mɛhwɛ adi asɛm no yiye ama no sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔremmɛhaw me bio!’ ”

13“Saa bere no na towgyeni no gyina akyiri baabi a ɔmpɛ sɛ ɔma nʼani so kyerɛ soro. Ɔde ne nsa guu ne bo bɔɔ mpae se, ‘Onyankopɔn, hu me ɔdebɔneyɛfo mmɔbɔ!’ 14Mereka akyerɛ mo se, nea towgyeni no yɛe no sɔɔ Onyankopɔn ani sen nea Farisini no yɛe no. Obiara a ɔma ne ho so no, wɔbɛbrɛ no ase, na nea ɔbrɛ ne ho ase no, wɔbɛma no so.”

15Da bi, awofo bi de wɔn mma nketewa brɛɛ Yesu sɛ ɔmfa ne nsa nka wɔn, nhyira wɔn. Asuafo no huu awofo no no, wɔtramtram wɔn.

19Yesu buaa no se, “Adɛn nti na wofrɛ me onipa pa? Obiara nyɛ papa, gye Onyankopɔn.

20“Wunim Mose mmara no: mmɔ aguaman! Nni awu! Mmɔ korɔn! Nni adansekurum! Di wʼagya ne wo na ni!”

21Osikani yi ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Madi saa mmara yi nyinaa so fi me mmofraase.”

22Yesu tee nea osikani no kae no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ade baako pɛ na aka wo a ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ. Kɔ na kɔtɔn wʼahode nyinaa na kyɛ sika no ma ahiafo na wubenya agyapade wɔ Onyankopɔn Ahenni no mu, na afei, bra bedi mʼakyi.”

23Osikani yi tee saa asɛm yi no, anyɛ no dɛ koraa efisɛ, na ɔwɔ ahode pii.

24Yesu hui sɛ ne werɛ ahow no ɔkae se, “Ɛyɛ den ma ahonyafo sɛ wɔbɛkɔ Onyankopɔn Ahenni no mu! 25Mereka akyerɛ mo se, ɛyɛ mmerɛw sɛ nantwi bewura paane aniwa mu sen sɛ ɔhonyafo bɛkɔ Onyankopɔn Ahenni no mu.”

26Na wɔn a wɔtee nea Yesu kae no bisae se, “Ɛnne na hena na wobegye no nkwa?”

27Yesu buae se, “Biribiara nni hɔ a Onyankopɔn ntumi nyɛ.”

28Petro ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Yɛagyaw nea yɛwɔ nyinaa hɔ abedi wʼakyi.”

29Yesu buaa Petro se, “Merema mo ate ase sɛ, obiara nni hɔ a, esiane Onyankopɔn Ahenni no nti, wagyaw ne fi anaa ne nuanom anaa nʼawofo anaa ne mma 30na ɔrennya mma ɛmmoro nea wahwere no so saa bere yi mu, na daakye nso, ɔrennya nkwa a enni awiei.”
